In the article it is presented the guideline and requirements for construction and technology designing of munition, that allows mitigation and decreasing after effects of stimuli impacting the Insensitive Munition (IM), used in military equipment, i.e. in case of pressure and temperature increase during fire, fast and slow heating, sympathetic detonation, perforation of the munition by a projectile, a fragment or a shaped charge jet. The construction of the IM munition is specified with the use of barriers, ventilation/deaeration of the munition case and double-purpose technology. The features of the active and passive/inert ventilation systems of the IM munition are presented, examples of absorbing energy materials and structure of covers/barriers of a „sandwich” type. Depending on the IM classes of threats and different representative standards and one metric of munition response and technology maturity, there are different consequences of detonation, explosion, deflagration/propulsion, burn, not sustained reaction, etc. observed. Some examples are presented with the use of the shaped-memory alloys or polymers in the Insensitive Munition.

W artykule zaprezentowano wytyczne i wymagania dotyczące projektowania konstrukcji i technologii amunicji, które pozwalają złagodzić i zmniejszyć efekt bodźca uderzenia w amunicję małowrażliwą (IM) stosowaną w sprzęcie wojskowym, tj. w przypadku wzrostu ciśnienia i temperatury w czasie palenia, szybkiego i powolnego ogrzewania, przenoszenia detonacji, przebicia amunicji przez pocisk, odłamek lub strumień pocisku kumulacyjnego. W konstrukcji amunicji małowrażliwej (IM) pokazano użycie barier, wentylacji/odpowietrzenia obudowy amunicji i technologii o podwójnym zastosowaniu. Zaprezentowano cechy aktywnych i pasywnych systemów wentylacji bezwładnościowej amunicji małowrażliwej, przykłady materiałów absorbujących energię i strukturę pokryć/barier typu „kanapka”. W zależności od klasy zagrożeń amunicji małowrażliwej (IM) i różnych odpowiednich standardów dla amunicji o długości jednego metra, zaawansowania technologii, obserwuje się różne rezultaty detonacji, wybuchu, deflagracji/napędzania, palenia, niepodtrzymywania reakcji itp. Zaprezentowano przykłady użycia stopów lub polimerów z pamięcią kształtu w amunicji małowrażliwej.
